The household is further complicated by Frank's emotionally disturbed teenage son from a previous marriage, Frank's lover Sophronia, and Charleston's disturbed mother, Irene
Charleston has become pregnant, and Enki tells her that she will have to choose between being crazy or having the baby. Frank, comes to the realization that he too has choices to face
The choice of either remaining with Charleston or getting on with his life in a healthier way. Rappoport's sharp-edged humor dissects the despair, brokenness and pain of life
Cave Life powerfully and unusually explores what Sophronia calls the "geography of good intentions," raising the questions of what we owe ourselves, what we owe others and what borders between them
Cave Life is a powerful and unusual work about a young Manhattan woman involved in a ménage-a-trois with her husband and her hallucination of a Neanderthal caveman
" it is poignant, amusing, and very good theatre" ~ The New Yorker
